April 20, 2007 - U.S. Military Ground Vehicle Armor Forecast Is Ready For Immediate Purchase and Shipment.
Vector Strategy, Inc. has released their newest report for the armor industry, their 2007 U.S. Military Ground Vehicle Armor Forecast. The forecast is available for immediate purchase and shipment.
"The U.S. military ground vehicle armor market is a multi-billion dollar industry. To our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive forecast and reference ever offered to business executives in this market," says Marcia Price, president of Vector Strategy. "The U.S. Department of Defense planned procurement of military ground vehicle armor in fiscal year 2007 is more than twice the level seen in recent years. Fiscal year 2008, although not as large as 2007, is also significant. Our forecast demystifies this procurement and provides executives with the intelligence they need to build business plans through 2013. "
The forecast addresses the following questions and more:
- How much armor will the DoD procure in FY07 for military ground vehicles?
- What vehicle platforms and armor programs are driving FY07 and FY08 armor procurement?
- What's the likely production schedule for MRAP vehicles?
- What armor upgrades is the US Army planning for their in-service RG-31's, JERRV's, Buffalo's, and VMMD's?
- What levels of armor procurement are forecasted for FY09 and beyond?
- When will JLTV and FCS armor procurement begin?
- What type of survivability enhancements are planned for the Stryker, the LAV, the Bradley Fighting Vehicle, and the Abrams tank?
- How will equipment reset and reconstitution affect armor procurement in FY07, FY08, and FY09?
- Which vehicle platforms are likely candidates for Active Protection Systems?
- What armor upgrades are planned for the Stryker and the LAV?
The forecast is an analysis of the U.S. military ground vehicle armor procurement and production rates for FY05 to FY13. Combat wheeled and tracked vehicles, as well as all tactical vehicles are addressed in this report. Vehicle requirements from all U.S. military departments and defense agencies are included.
The forecast provides full descriptions of vehicle armor programs, including history of the vehicle and armor program, planned upgrades, publicly available armor design elements, and related contractors and suppliers.
The forecast will be republished for clients in October 2007 to incorporate any changes in DoD armor procurement rates that result from Congressional action, actual contract activity that varies from that predicted in the original forecast, and other industry factors affecting armor procurement.
